Someone gave me a Rolleiflex SL35 yesterday. The camera looks to be no great shakes but it has that Planar 1.8/50 lens so I am going to shoot it tomorrow.

If you want a AH-3 (gratis) for Ms F3P, I have one kicking around; and 2). Do you know of anyone in your area needing a partially disassembled F2 body (and a bag-o-parts from same)? I recall you mentioning that one of our Washington State APUGers liked fixer-uppers (an alternative, of course, would be to donate the carcass to the "Save Sover fund" when I send in a couple of the F2s for CLAs).

Bradley, thanks, but will be sourcing another MK-1 to replace the one I sold to PhotoJim in '06.

Re: the parts F2, PM Ralph Javins. He'll take it. I need to send my F2 to Sover for a service. 1 second is a little fast.

Xmas

Cosina CSL body for some M42 lenses I had to test seems to work ok but will need new foam.

I recently picked up a couple of Nikon items. I replaced a beat Nikon F2 with a really nice black body and added the DP-1 finder from the beater F2. I got for an in incredible price, a mint 28-85 AIS MF lens and the proper Nikon lens hood...sweet!
